The island of Ometepe

The Island of Ometepe Ever seen those movies where the people get stranded on a lonely island? Well that's were we went for a vacation this month. Complete with coconut palm trees, monkies and two enormous volcanoes. It is just like you'd see in the movies. I rode with four other brothers...
